I put the lines in my .emacs, but when I hit enter on a link, Gnus
states that it tries to load links in Mozilla. The only exception are
links in RSS-Feeds, where the word "link" appears under the first lines
of the article.
In that case Emacs-w3m starts.
Putting these lines in .gnus does not change anything. So what am I
missing?
